Malki told reporters that Arab countries wanted a resolution demanding an immediate end to "Israeli aggression" in Gaza and calling for the deployment of international monitors who would police any ceasefire agreement.

1. I had understood that Israel might be willing to accept a neutral force in gaza...

to monitor and enforce the eventual peace agreement...once Israel has crushed Hamas' abiltiy to launch rockets.

Not sure where I got that idea.
